Water distribution systems (WDS) are among the most critical civil infrastructure systems. A
reliable and safe water supply is essential for the prosperity and continued well-being of …

Water supply is the primary element of an urban system. Due to rapid urbanization and
water scarcity, maintaining a stable and safe water supply has become a challenge to many …

In this thesis, different aspects of failure management in urban water supply systems are
discussed. As assets are getting older, the number of pipe failures is increasing and an …

This paper presents a procedure for optimal medium-term scheduling (eg, over a time
window of 5 years) of rehabilitation and leakage detection interventions in a water …

Pipe breaks often occur in water distribution networks and result in large water loss and
social-economic damage. To reduce the water loss and maintain the conveyance capability …

An increase in breakage frequency and a decrease in system efficiency are observed when
pipes become older. Rehabilitation strategies are necessary to face this problem in order to …

The paper presents the results of the Battle of Postdisaster Response and Restoration
(BPDRR) presented in a special session at the first International water distribution systems …

This work presents a novel approach to scoring the structural condition of sewer pipes
applicable to risk-based and network wide analysis processes. Using a statistically …

The sustainable management of the water supply system requires methodologies to monitor,
repair, or replace the aging infrastructure, but more importantly, it must be able to assess the …

This study introduces an approach using Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) to consider
hydraulic resilience and economic consequence resilience of a water distribution system …
